Congratulations!

You’ve just purchased a Burley® trailer, the leading choice of discriminating bicycle trailer owners worldwide. Every effort has been made to ensure your purchase is of top quality and proven design, ready to provide you with many years and thousands of miles of happy, safe trailering.

IMPORTANT: Because some of the features and guidelines for using the Burley Cub merit close attention, it is very important that you familiarize yourself with the trailer by reading this manual all the way through before use. If you have any ques- tions, we encourage you to contact your Burley dealer.

Introduction

This manual is written sequentially to assist initial assembly.Your Burley Cub is shipped 95% factory-assembled.You will need to mount the reflectors, install the tongue and brake, attach the wheels, side panels, roll bar and safety flag, and snap the cover into place. Once you’ve read the safety guidelines, you’re ready to go. Initial assembly should take 10-15 minutes. Subsequent setting up and folding can easily be done in a couple of minutes, no tools required.

Before trailering, be sure you have a thorough understanding of the safety harness and of trailer hitch operation. Practice folding and unfolding your trailer; it can easily be done in less than a minute, no tools required. Check to see that the trailer wheels and hitch are securely attached. We again request that you read this manual from start to finish before use, referring to it as necessary in the future.

NOTE: Any reference to left or right is made in the direction of travel, as if you were sitting in the child seat looking forward.

When Loaning or Selling Your Trailer

If you loan or sell your Burley Cub, supply the new user with this manual. They must familiarize themselves with all sections—especially sections “IX. Safety Guidelines” and “X. Safety Checklists” prior to use. It is essential that they understand the differ- ences between riding a bicycle with a trailer and without one. It is also essential that they understand correct wheel attachment, setup, folding, and use of the harness, safety flag, cover, and hitch. Always ensure that both adult and child are wearing helmets. Never loan your trailer if it is in need of maintenance or repair.
